I just tested it and it works fine here (TC 7.56a + SFTP plugin 1.2 + dlls from cURL 7.24.0 + Pageant).

So:
- TC - we have the same version
- dlls - we have the same version
- plugin - we can have different version, but even older ones worked fine (in case you don't have it, try http://ghisler.fileburst.com/beta/sftpplug12.zip)
- Pageant - did you test that it works correctly with PuTTY?

Ah - I hadn't created a link pageant.lnk in the plugin directory - I thought it would work if I had pageant already loaded ...

The link is optional, manually started Pageant is enough. It should work and does work here. If it doesn't work for you, then there's something wrong somewhere. I'm not sure what and where, unfortunately. ;)

Maybe you started Pageant from the desktop with normal user rights, and TC with full admin rights? Then the two will not "see" each other._________________Author of Total Commander
